NHTSA Complaint #10969935 — 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU

DRIVER SIDE DOOR AT TIMES FAILED TO OPEN FROM EITHER OUTSIDE OR INSIDE. KEYFOB REMOTE PROPERLY LIFTS AND LOWERS THE LOCK KNOB LIFTER TO LOCK OR UNLOCK POSITION. MINUTES, HOURS AND ONE TIME, TWO DAYS WOULD GO BY THEN THE DOOR WOULD EVENTUALLY UNLOCKS TO OPEN. SAME FOR THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR HOWEVER, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR SINCE 2015. ALSO, THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE DRIVER DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE UNLESS I SLAM THE DOOR SHUT. I HAVE TRIED TO MAKE PROGRAMMING CHANGES ON THE DOOR LOCKING FEATURES THROUGH THE ON BOARD COMPUTER AND MOVING TRANS SHIFTIER TO DIFFERENT POSITIONS. NO SUCCESS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURE TWICE (2015 & 2016) AND BOTH TIME WAS TOLD BY CHEVROLET THEY WILL NOT COVER SINCE OUT OF WARRANTY DUE TO THE MILES ON MY 2010 CHEVY MALIBU. FOR ME BEING A OVER WEIGHT OLDER INDIVIDUAL ITS DIFFICULT TO EXIT AND ENTER FROM THE PASSENGER DOOR. SOMEONE ELDERLY IT WOULD MOST CERTAINLY BE IMPOSSIBLE.
